it was a few months ago that we sowed our first carrot seeds ever into the garden bed. we've watched the green tops grow leafier and taller all summer, not really knowing how things were growing beneath the dirt. such suspense. now we're finally starting to peak, little by little, at what's going on with those roots down below... each time we dig up a few i'm amazed at our findings. sweet, orange, minuscule, perfect for backyard snacking carrots! very fun for all. has me thinking a lot of this little book too.
